Description

Keep in mind

Hiding places
This species needs good hiding places, for example, between live rocks.
Nocturnal
This species is nocturnal and therefore the most active when the light is dimmed or turned off.
Removes parasitic life

This species is able to remove parasites from fish.
It does not have a great impact on a large outbreak of marine ich (Cryptocaryon), for example, but it contributes towards keeping fish parasite free.

Constant cleaning can stress the fish in the aquarium, so one should not add this fish which removes parasites, if the fish are already weakened through other causes.

Not all specimens actively clean fish.
